For the past 5 or 6 years, MWY, and then YDC have sponsored the Winter Open, a prelims-final meet (Most swim meets are swum such that the swim is the finals). It was a nice taste of the State Meet format for swimmers.
Yesterday, this year's version was cancelled. In the past, the Winter Open was held at the Middleton/Cross Plains pool, but this year it was scheduled into the Natatorium on the UW Campus (Finally! I could bike/walk to the meet!) I wonder how much money the Y still has to pay the Nat for the pool rental. Maybe they got lucky and the Nat decided to forego charging the Y for the space, because it's not being used, but I'd be surprised about that, since the Natatorium has to run as a business too.
I have a good lot of sympathy for the Swim Coaches at the Y. It's like they're captaining a sinking ship, or something like that.
